Mercator Artist and Model Management, Inc. is to fashion, entertainment and beauty pageants as MercatorTV is to virtual and visual appreciation of the outstanding talents that the company has to offer. The new website takes things two steps forward by proudly putting together the past and present achievements that define how far its services have evolved as the ‘go-to’ specialists in the highly competitive sectors they have flourished in.

Mercator Artists
Celebrity-models? or Model-Celebrities? How do you categorize thee? Consider the names Venus Raj, Shamcey Supsup, Mikael Daez, JC Tiuseco, Benjamin Alves, Daniel Matsunaga, Fabio Ide, Akihiro Sato, Benjo Leoncio, Lemuelle Pelayo, Ervic Vijandre, Kerbie Zamora and more. You see and hear them on the boob tube or the big screen. And if that’s not enough, the company makes playing field of the country’s three big networks – ABS-CBN, GMA-7 and TV5. They have representative personalities in each station which only goes to show that the seed of trust has already been planted in its’ talents. In the film industry, Regal Entertainment signed up quite a number of them to star in both commercial & indie movies. Most notable are Venus Raj in “Pridyider” which opened this week, Benjamin Alves in the recently-released “Guni Guni” plus JC Tiuseco/Fabio Ide in the soon-to-open “Ride to Love” and Mikael Daez in last year’s “Temptation Island” remake.

The flag-bearers of Mercator Artists (Top row L-R): Venus Raj, Mikael Daez, Shamcey Supsup, Benjamin Alves, JC Tiuseco.; (Bottom row L-R): Daniel Matsunaga, Lemuelle Pelayo, Fabio ide, Hideo Muraoka and Benjo Leoncio.

Mercator Models
The catwalk and glossy pages of fashion magazines reign supreme here. Be it for high-profile fashion spreads, mainstream TV commercials or well-placed print advertisements, Mercator provides the best possible models to fill in the project. What sets them apart is the fact that crossing over to show business or beauty pageants has become a continuous option for individuals initially molded as photographic subjects and/or skilled ramp gliders.

The familiar faces of Mercator Models: (Top row, L-R) Rocky Salumbides, Vince Canizares, Carlo Sawit, Jovic Sael, Benj Bolivar; (Bottom row L-R) Jasmine Meierhofer, Darlene Anderson, Tina Marasigan, Chrizenda Cecilio and Nicolette Henson.

Aces & Queens
I must admit. Aces & Queens is my personal favorite among the three branches of MercatorTV. I’m a pageant blogger, after all. Truthfully, this is where the people at Mercator pour their labor of love. Plucking raw and unpolished ladies and turning them into gems of world-class beauty standards is not the easiest thing to do. But train hard they continue in the efforts of coming up with Filipinas who can make us proud in the international stage of competition. As a result, their track record for more than one decade now is nothing short of enviable – eight (8) Miss Universe representatives, four (4) Miss World delegates and two (2) Miss International entries.

Ten of Aces & Queen’s prides (Top row L-R) Venus Raj, Shamcey Supsup, Queenie Rehman, Lia Andrea Ramos, Marie-Ann Umali; (Bottom row L-R) Jennifer Barrientos, Theresa Licaros, Gionna Cabrera, Elaine Kay Moll and Janine Tugonon.

Things can only get better from this point for Mercator. Aside from becoming more aggressive in building its pool of talents, Mercator Artist and Model Management, Inc. is ready to diversify their interests in the years to come.
